A Super Highway In My Front Yard

I have a superhighway in my front yard. 
It appeared in the night. 
As if by magic. 
Ants are traveling along it 
Whistling a tune I think it is a Maroon 5 song 
But I am not sure 
Some say I should get rid of it. 
I am fascinated by it a superhighways 
Begun with one giant wad 
Of pink gum.
Ant traveled

Panagiota Romios Date: 3/12/2019 6:28:00 PM Yes! What a great way to see them. Ants so plentiful here. They are clever Panagiota Login to Reply Caren Krutsinger Date: 3/12/2019 8:52:00 PM Ants so rapidly find things like a wad of gum, parading toward it in such a stream! Surrounding it, making it black quickly.

Login to Reply Caren Krutsinger Date: 3/12/2019 8:54:00 PM I shudder thinking rather of my 'Asian beetle' invasion where I was scraping tens of thousands of them off a bedroom ceiling, and they crawled the walls faster than I could scrape them up.

James Edward Lee Sr. Date: 3/12/2019 11:21:00 AM This is the ant verse you were talking about.... We better stop thinking of the same themes or our fellow poets will think we're the same person Ha! Ha! ~LOL~ write on.. love the piece James Login to Reply Caren Krutsinger Date: 3/12/2019 12:14:00 PM Hilarious! It is strange to me that our ideas are similar on the same day, my friend.
